Summary:

The 68944 zip code is home to a single middle school, Harvard Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school appears to be struggling, with declining statewide rankings, low academic performance, and a low-performing school district.

Harvard Middle School has a total enrollment of 54 students, with a racial makeup of 57.41% White, 38.89% Hispanic, 1.85% African American, and 1.85% Native American. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 219 out of 247 Nebraska middle schools in 2018-2019 to 225 out of 238 in 2022-2023, with a 0 out of 5 star rating. Academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the NSCAS assessments, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 22% of 8th-grade students proficient in math, compared to the state average of 61%.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, which is lower than the state average, and a high per-student spending of $10,923, Harvard Middle School's academic performance remains a concern. The school's challenges suggest the need for a deeper analysis of the school's operations and practices, as well as targeted support and resources to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
